To help ourselves we must first look to God, and we must look to others, and we must surround ourselves with Christ. We must make this a habit. Every week. Sometimes multiple times a week. We must make the Sacraments a habit. We can’t read the Bible once, or go to a Mass every now and then, or go to a yearly confession and expect to be healed of all our problems. It doesn’t work that way. We need to grow the habit, build discipline and show God we are serious, and then let Him do His work in and through us. […]

I could relate to all,that you mentioned. I myself have experienced being lost, alone and after a major surgery I cried as I found I was not able to pray, mediate or read my bible due to medication I was on.. made it difficult for me to see the words in my bible.

Yet you are right it is at our low points that God, Jesus and Mither Mary are there right beside us. God always makes a way!

Thankful for knowing the Our Father & Hail Mary by memory is what at the time seem to be my hope and I called on my community prayer group and a few members came to pray for me week until I was back on my feet again. ??

Yes, we just have to ask and remember often God used good people like Moses, Jacob to do His will.

God bless you in your ministering to us. Thank you again.
